Mid-Cheshire Astronomical Group

Welcome to our website

We were contacted by one of our local primary schools, who asked if we would help with their Space Themed Science Week; in particular, whether we could bring some telescopes along to their Science Evening, for pupils and parents on Thursday 15th Feb.

The forecast was clear and we were able to take some telescopes and a mounted binocular for people to look through.

The school was really well organised, with a number of indoor and outdoor activities on offer, including an inflatable planetarium and 'Astronaut Training'. We had a steady flow of pupils and parents past our scopes, with which we could show the Orion Nebula, the Pleiades and Mizar and Alcor, the famous double star in Ursa Major.
